Good Foods has net income of $82,490, total equity of $518,700, and total assets of $1,089,500. The dividend payout ratio is .30

dexar [7]

Answer:

5.6%

Explanation:

Internal growth rate can be calculated as below:

Internal growth rate = (Return on asset x Retention Rate)/[1 - (Return on asset x Retention Rate)]

Retention rate = 1 - Payout ratio = 1 - 30% = 70%

Return on asset = Net income/Asset = 82,490/1,089,500 = 7.6%

Putting all the number together, we have:

Sustainable growth rate = (7.6% x 70%)/[1 - (7.6% x 70%)] = 5.6%

An annual has 15 years to maturity. It has a coupon rate of 5%, a YTM of 8%. Fill in the cells highlighted in yellow, and aswer

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Market value at 8% YTM $ 743.2156

at 10% YTM $ 619.6960

Explanation:

Assuming the face value is 1,000 as common outstanding American company's bonds:

Market value under the current scenario:

Present value of the coupon payment:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon: $1,000 x 5% = 50

time 15 years

rate 0.08

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-15} }{0.08} = PV\\$

PV $427.9739

Present Value of the Maturity

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 15.00

rate 0.08

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^{15} } = PV$

PV 315.24

PV c $427.9739

PV m $315.2417

Total $743.2156

If the interest rate in the market increaseby 2% then investor will only trade the bonds to get a yield 2% higher that is 10% so we recalculate the new price:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 50.000

time 15

rate 0.1

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.1)^{-15} }{0.1} = PV\\$

PV $380.3040

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 15.00

rate 0.1

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.1)^{15} } = PV$

PV 239.39

PV c $380.3040

PV m $239.3920

Total $619.6960

The transactions demand for money sometimes directly and sometimes inversely with nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP). varies i

Lunna [17]

Answer: Varies directly with nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Explanation:

The Transactions Demand for money refers to money that is kept by individuals, companies and even the Government to be able to purchase goods and services.

It varies directly with Nominal GDP because Nominal GDP includes inflation.

If Nominal GDP were to rise for instance, it would mean that Inflation has risen as well which means that people would need more money to be able to buy the now more expensive goods and services. This is an increase in Transactions Demand for money.

The reverse holds true signifying indeed that Transactions Demand for money varies with Nominal GDP.

Suppose you purchased 500 shares of Jet-Electro Corporation stock at a price of $22.50 per share. One year later, the shares are

viva [34]

Answer:

C) 0.0 percent

Explanation:

The net return on any investment is what we receive from the investment in addition to the purchase price paid.

In the given instance the investor pays $22.50 per share as an investment cost, to acquire such shares. Number of shares purchased = 500

Now at the end of the period the shares are sold for $21 each

Also the dividend per share received is $1.50

Thus, total return = $21 + $1.50 = $22.50 per share.

This is exact same as that of the investment price.

Thus net return = Total benefits - Cost = $22.50 - $22.50 = $0

Since net return is $0 the value of return in percentage shall also be $0.
